RE VOLUME VII. DENVER ‘BUNKO’ RING SENTENCED TO PRIS CASPER, WYO., FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1923. TEN SLAIN IN MEXICO_CITY RIOT » BURDEN PLACED UN TAXPAYERS TOBE LASTING No Hope of Relief for Many Years to Come, Smoot Asserts. LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 1— Reed Smooth, United States senator from Utah, told members of the Lin- coln club at a luncheon they held in hig honor that “never again will your federal taxes be less than $3,000,000,- 000 a year, but probably more.” “The foremost subject of interest to the American people now is taxa- tion,” said the senator. “Before the war that word meant nothing to us, but what a difference now. “For twenty-five years to come, the dominant question will be how to the money for our government. ‘I am sure the federal taxes never again will be less than $3,000,000,000 annually. Probably in a few years, they will be more than that. “In less than a decade, we shall be paying $1,500,000,000 a year in pensions to world war veterans. It right and just this should be done, ut the tax payers must prepare for the burden.” Touching on the money owed the United Btates, he said. “All Konor to England. She consid- ers it as much a sacred duty to meet her obligations. as, life ‘itself. I¢ tt had been left to me, I would have made a better settlement for her than was made, for the settlement was Durdmeome to her. England is taxed $102 @ year for every man, woman and child. For that war cost her more than all her expenses of govern- ment including wars, in the 226 be- fore the war. If peace ever comes, and the world ever gets back to nor- conditions, it will have been rought about by English speaking peoples and no others.’ He sa'd “France had her back against the wall’ and wag faced by a situation of = grave nature not only to her but to the remainder of the world. Italy, was feeling keenly the lowees of the war and the payment of her debt to the United States was & problem for her most astute fi nanciers. He placed Belglum in the same class with France and Italy, Poland and Czecho Slovakia, he de- clared, were making every effort to pay their debts to America, and should be commended for the!r ef forts. ——___ HOMESTEADER MEETS DEATH IN WINDSTORM SHERIDAN, Wyo., June 1—A tor- rado that cut a 800yard path near 9 town of Larit, Wyo., left one dead and resulted in conwiderable damage to property, W, B, Mizer, 80 years of age, was killed when the shack at his home stead wes hurled hundreds of feet, Larit's $4,000 school house and ®everal ranch buildings were de- stroyed, Burlington telegraph lines Religious Demon- stration Leads to Storming of Pro- vincial Palace MEXICO CITY, June 1.— Newspaper dispatches from Durango City report that ten persons were killed and 17 wounded, eight seriously, when a = mob_ yesterday stormed the provincial palace in pro- test against the law limiting to 25 the number of clergymen allowed each religious denomination, Military p> trols on duty throughout the state capital during the night. Trouble grew out of what was in tended to be a demonstration and pro- test against the law. A committee of prom!nent Catholics, accompanied by ‘a crowd of 3,000 persons, marched to the palace to ask the governor and legis'ature to rescind the measure, while its spokesmen were awaiting admittance to the bullding, the as semblage listened to several fiery speeches and finally began to bom- bard the palace with stone: The guard of mounted police dis charged their rifles over the heads of the crowd, whereupon the demon strators rushed the guards and dis- armed them. In the promiscuous shooting that followed, three police. mren and seven civilians were killed. Promulgation of the law about ten days ago caused great excitement throughout the state, in which ther are normally about 250 Catholic clergymen. Chureh officlala have served notice that services will be suspended unless the measure was re moved. EMBEZZLER IS FOUND GUILTY UNION, Mo., June 1.—Arthur 0.

The court ts of the opinion that in this jurisdiction {t is a mat- ter for the sound judicial discretion of the court as to whether or not Juries should be allowed to separate in felony cases not capital.” Cont!nuing other points raised by the defense, Judge Dunklee said ‘That as to the ground of alleged error ag set forth m the motion for fre down also as a result of the tor-| eign legion, which crossed the liead in the number of law infrac- ay) Afierncen’ while: be was) driving club hae, sepured\ «lst of (girls, who| ® ew ‘mal as to certain. newspepe nado, Straits of Gibraltar yesterday from | ATLANTA, Ga., June 1.—Edmund tions.
